Joy, welcome to our family, even tho we hate to see so many geting this stuff we have, You are in the right forums for advice and friends. As for you " How can I have Cancer" , Cancer doesn't know any age or physical condition or really dosen't care. It just happens. I'll ask davidcpa's favorite question. Have you had a biopsy to find out if it can be HPV or maybe some other cause they can put a name to?? Ditto to what the others have said.
